Hi.. I'm scheduled for surg 6/28. I have been watching a lot of you tube videos & reading a ton about what to expect. I watched a few videos in which people say that the are always cold since surgery. Is this true? If so, any idea why? I'm constantly sweating as I am 150 lbs overweight & I'm curios if there is any truth to this.

I do not suffer from the coldness so much but many do. (I am almost 1 year post-op and down 120 pounds since surgery / 145 pounds in all). BUT I was just saying earlier this week on another post how nice it is not to sweat all the time anymore! I seriously didn't realize how bad it was until I don't have the problem now. So great....

Congrats on your success! & thanks for the info. I look forward to the day when I'm not sweating with the tiniest exertion!

@@tobhappy&healthy - Thanks! And trust me, you will get there! One of my biggest NSVs (Non scale Victories)!

I'm 2.5 weeks post op and I was shocked when I kept finding myself cold. Before I seemed to always be hot and with little effort I broke out into sweats. I had terrible night sweats too and that hasn't happened at all. What a nice side effect.

I'm a super sweaty person, but since losing the weight I only sweat like a pig during a really hard workout. I used to sweat CONSTANTLY before!

And yes, now I'm always cold

I would sweat walking from my car to the house or getting dressed for work even after I showered. Now that I am 2 months post op, I sweat very little and that makes me happy.
